<p>@ SciOly:</p>

<p>Actually, a suture is a nonmotile joint. </p>

<p>Quoth Wikipedia:</p>

<p>"In anatomy, a suture is a fairly rigid joint between two or more hard elements of an animal, without significant overlap."</p>

<p>@ Everyone:</p>

<p>Uuugh, results are moved to tommorrow.</p>

<p>Yeah.. that kind of stinks. :&lt;/p>

<p>STUPID SNOW STORM I WENT INTO BRUNCH TODAY EXPECTING TO SEE MY SCORE D:<</p>

<p>And then my teacher was like, "Oh they had a snow storm. Either that or their supervisor is throwing up in the trash can and cannot process your scantron at the moment."</p>

<p>Major w tf moment, but still.</p>

<p>Yeah, I was mildly annoyed as well...</p>

<p>News are in:</p>

<p>Cutoff = 27, 2 points lower than last year
I made it in, (my score was also... 2 ponts lower than last year?)</p>

<p>My bio teacher doesn't have time to look up the top score, does anyone know what it is?</p>

<p>The top score was 37, 4 lower than last year's top score of 41.
Although I made it, my score fell by 9 points.</p>

<p>I made it too, 32! are there any materials for semifinalist exam?</p>

<p>Nothing's better than past semifinal exams. Check with your coach for them, as CEE only releases them to the participants for a given year.
And then again, Campbell will be your best bet, if you haven't already mastered it.</p>

<p>umm hillaryous, the highest score last year was 43...</p>

<p>My bio teacher said the cutoff = 26 o.O</p>

<p>I got a 33, which is an 8 point drop :(
Gotta study harder for semi</p>

<p>Yes, you're right that the top score was 43 last year. I goofed there.
However, the cutoff, I'm sure, is 27. I looked at a printout of the teacher center results page.
Good luck to you too, Demonic.</p>

<p>I qualified, though I don't know my score. My teacher did tell the class I got the highest score in the school, though! Which was within 2 of the top score.</p>

<p>Acht. I got in too. I got a 30 :( The cutoff was 27.
I still have a lot of work to do :(</p>

<p>hehe. I didn't make it in and will be the first to claim so. Score: -10000.</p>

<p>Oh well. Toodles everyone. Prob be the last time I'll be posting in here. :P Good luck to all the semifinalists!</p>

<p>Ughh.....I wish the teacher at the school I took it at would e-mail my score....gahhhh. If anyone has access to the scores, can you look up 109318018 for me?</p>

<p>Sorry, don't have access to the scores.</p>

<p>I got a 37, tho :)
I wonder who else got a 37. I can't have been the only one.</p>

<p>When're you all taking the semi? I'm taking it on March 12th.</p>

<p>Rofl, 27 exactly for me. xD</p>

<p>I think I, too, am taking it on March 12th.</p>

<p>Didn't make it.</p>

<p><em>high fives CrystalProphecy</em></p>

<p>So how do you guys propose learning Anatomy for this next test?</p>

<p>w00t made it with a 30 =D
lol just bruteforce Campbell I guess
unless anybody can recommend a better (and more concise) human anatomy text?</p>
